6 months of new stuff

Last year I felt that we hadn't launched many new milly and pip products. I had been working on developing new colourways and versions of existing products, but this year, I made a conscious decision to expand the range as my sketch books (and brain) were getting so full of ideas.

This is a little snap shot of some of the new stuff that we have launched in the last 6 months on our notonthighstreet.com shop, I hope you like them.

This picture can be appliqued with either a mini heart or an initial inside the heart, with any words of your choice embroidered above and below. It comes ready framed, in a beech frame which is handmade by our local postman. He delivers the post in the morning and makes his frames in the afternoon :0)

This cushion is appliqued with Mr & Mrs above the 3 hearts, with a surname of your choice below. The hearts are available in 7 different colours, so the cushion can co-ordinate with your own colour scheme. It comes complete with a feather pad and we can embroider a special personal message on the back if you wish.

Our personalised cushion can be appliqued with any words of your choice above and below the hearts. The hearts are available in 7 different colours and like the Mr & Mrs cushion above, it comes with a feather pad and can be embroidered on the back too.

Our phone cosies are available in 3 colourways and are perfect gifts for hard to buy for teenagers. An initial of your choice is appliqued on one side, with a personalised message embroidered on the other. A touch and close fastening is at the top to ensure that your phone is kept nice and safe.

The very 1st order which we received from notonthehightstreet.com was for one of our wedding hearts. This is a brand new version, which features the wording Mr & Mrs on one side, with your personalised message on the other.

We have been getting a steady stream of international orders for a quite a while now. This is the 1st of our tea cosies to feature a international flag teapot. They are quite fiddly to produce as each teapot is appliqued and embroidered by hand, but we were really pleased with this stars and stripes version. Other international flag teapots are in the pipe line.

And lastly, our lavender filled personalised stars are now available in pink too.

I hope you like our new products, all are available to buy through our notonthehighstreet.com shop. If there is anything else that you would like to see in our range, we would love to hear from you. Many thanks, milly and pip x
